Star Trek Online Season 26: Stormfall is coming next month

The next major game update for Star Trek Online is coming next month. Perfect World and Cryptic Studios have revealed the dates for the PC and console releases of Stormfall, continuing the MMORPG's travel through the Mirror Universe. Stormfall is releasing on PC May 10 (Arc Games, Steam and the Epic Games Store) and on consoles in June.

Star Trek Online’s next chapter sends Captains on a rescue mission in the Mirror Universe alongside epic characters, iincluding Admiral Janeway (Kate Mugrew from Star Trek: Voyager), Admiral Leeta (Chase Masterson from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) and an Andorian rebel named “Rae-Yeet” (Noah Averbach-Katz from Star Trek: Discovery). Together, they will stop Terran forces led by the dreaded Captain Killy (Mary Wiseman from Star Trek: Discovery), from reawakening a dangerous nemesis. Stormfall also introduces a complete remaster of the Starfleet tutorial, two brand new episodes, an added Task Force Operation and other new features for Captains to explore.

Below you can read details on Stormfall, but there are spoilers for those who haven't finished the latest Star Trek Online update Shadow's Advance.

In the final few moments of the last episode, “Red Shift,” players discovered that the individual they had been searching for is actually Lieutenant Ilia from Star Trek: The Motion Picture. In Stormfall, Captains will receive orders from Admiral Janeway (voiced by Kate Mugrew from Star Trek: Voyager) to embark on a mission to rescue the captured Deltan Starfleet Officer from a Terran Space Dock. Ilia tells players she needs their help in preventing the Terran Empire from summoning a powerful nemesis.

These exciting events all take place in two brand new featured episodes for Star Trek Online. Stormfall also introduces a new 5-player ground Task Force Operation and a special event that allows players to earn a new reward for playing through the latest content. In addition, the developers at Cryptic Studios are working hard to remaster the tutorial experience for the Starfleet faction. This upgraded tutorial will not only provide aspiring Captains with a smoother experience, but will also be updated with new environments, plus more interaction with the Borg and Admiral Janeway.
